Abstract of the Disclosure This invention provides new mono-deuterated prostaglandins having prolonged uterotonic activity.

Description

~L0~03~ r case 10 MONO-DEUTERATED,15-HYDROXYPROSTAGLANDINS

The present invention relates to deuterated prostaglandins and intermediates for their production.
It is to be appreciated that the present prostaglandings an2 intermediates are non-radioactive in the sense that they do not contain, e.g. hydrogen, atoms containing more than the nat~ral amount o~ radioactive isotopes, e.g. triti~.
In particul2r, the present invention provides mono-deuterated, 15-hvdroxy group-containing prostaglandins, the deuterium atom beins attached to the carbon atom in the 15-position. Such prcs~2slancins m2~ be in race~ic form or op,icall~ active form.
The present invention also provides a process for the production of such mono-deuterated, 15-hydroxy group-containins prostaalandins, which comprises splitting off the prGteCting croup or groups in a corresponding prosta-slandin having a deuterium ato-~ attached to the carbon atom in the 15-position and in which at least one hydro~
and/or carboxylic acid aroup is protected.
In a more particular aspect the present invention provides compouncs of fon~ula I, A ~ i C

wherein X is hydroxy, al~oxy of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, lysergyloxy, lysergylamino or dihydrolyser-gylamino, and C is a prostaglandin end group.

10~032 100-43Gl A is pre~erably A2, ~3 or A4.
B is preferably Bl or B4. X is preferably hydroxy or alko~y. When ~ is alkoxy it is preferably of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, especially methoxy or ethoxy.In B4 it is to ~e appreciated that the substituents of the cyclopropyl ring are trans to each other.
C is a prostaglandin end group which corresponds to that of a natural or syr.thetic-prostaglandin. In particu]ar C may be a hydrocaxbyl group conveniently containing up to 16 carbon atoms which may con~ain a cyclic moiety and~or may contain unsaturation and/or may contain a ~-- heteroatom, such as oxygen. Prostaglandin end groups which are contemplated .include a) alkyl of 1 to 16 atoms, par~icularly a group Rl R2 /~ ~

- wherein Rl and ~2 are independently ~ydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, b) a group 1 ~ 2 ~O~S03Z

w'nerein ~1 and R2 are as defined above, Z is -CH2- or -0-, R3 is hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or trifluoromethyi, c) alkenyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, or d) cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms ~hlch is unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl cf up to 6 carbon atom~s.

As indicated by the bro~en lines in formula I, the 5 and 6 carbon atoms may be linked by a single bond or a cis double bond, and the 13 and 14 carbon atoms 2Q may be linked by a single bond or a trans double bond.

The present invention further provides a process for the production of a compound of formula I as defined above, by splitti~g off with acid an acid sensitive protecting group or grou~s ~resen' in a co~ound of formula II, ~503Z , 00-4361 I II

lO~S~3Z 100-4~61 The deprote~ting process as deiined above may be effected in conventional manner for such reactions.
Prefexably the protecting group is a group stable to basic conditions. Suitable groups include tetrahydro-pyranyl and tert.-butyldimethylsilyl. Suitable conditions are well known in the art, e.g. acetic acid/tetrahydro-furan/water; methanol/hydrochloric acid; sulphuric acid;
acetone/hydrochloric acid. Suitable temperatures are from -10 to 50C, preferably room temperature.
It will be appreciated that the prostaglandins of formulae I and II may be interconverted into other prostaglandins of formulae I and II respectivelyr e.g.
in conventional ~anner for such reactions.
For example, lysergyl esters, lysergyl amides and dihydro-lysergylamides may be made in conventional manner for producing such esters and amides, e.g~ as in Example 32.
Additionally, the moiety A2 may be changed into a moiety A6 by reaction with imidazole in conventional manner for the addition of an amine to the double bond of an ~,~
unsaturated ketone. Suitable conditions include reacting with imidazole at room temperature over several days. The imidazole may be in free form or the form of carbonyldi- -imidazole. ~urther reaction conditions are apparent from Example 33 which it is appreciated involves both ester formation and conversion from moiety A2 into A6.

The reaction may be carried out in conventional manner ~for such deuterations bearing in mind the other groups present. For example a deuterating agent such a5 sodium or zinc borodeuteride may be used. An anhydrous inert organic solvent such as dimethyl formamide or dimethoxyethane may be present. Suitable tempera~ures are bet~een ~40 and 50C. Preferably the reaction is effected under an inert gas atmosphere.
The ~- and ~-alcohols which may both be formed may be s~parated in conventional manner.
The group R7 may be chosen such that it influences by virtue of its size the proportion of a:B alcohol formed generally increasing the amount of ~-alcohol.

Such ~roups are well known ill the art.
An e~ample of a suitable protecting group R7 i~
para-phenylbenzoyl or benzoyl. Such groups are split off under alkaline conditions, and may be exhanged for a group RS in conventional manner.
The 3-hydroxy group may be protected in conventional manner.
Free forms of prostaglandins being suitably basic, e.g. a compound of formula I, wherein A is A6, or X is lysergyloxy, lysergylamino or dihydrolysergylamino, may be converted into acid addition salt forms in conventional manner and vice versa. A suitable acid is methanesulphonic acid. Free forms of prostaglandins being suitably acidic, e.g. a compound of formula I, wherein X is hydroxy, may be converted into cationic salt forms in ccnventional manner and vice versa. A suitable cation is the sodilm~ cation.
Insofar as the production of any starting material is not particularly described these compounds are known, or may be produced and purified in accordance with known ~0 processes, or in a manner analogous tc processes described herein, e.g. in the Ex~amples, or to known processes.
It will be appreciated that optically active products may be obtcined from optically active starting materials.

10~5032 loo-~ 3~;1 The deutexa~ed pLostaalandins of the inven~ion, D especially the compounds of formula I~e~nibit interesting pharmacological activity. In particular the deuterated prostaglandins exhibit the same type of activity as the non-deuterated analogues, but have a longer duration of action. Thus the compounds of formula I in general, and especially the PGE and PGF~ compounds exhibit uterotonic activity, as indicated by a uterotonic effect on the rat uterus ln situ according to the principles of Bisset G.W. et al, Memoirs of the Society for Endocrinology No. 14 - Endogenous substances affecting the myometrium.
Edited by W.R. Pickles and R.J. Fitzpatrick, Cambridg~
University frey 1966, p. 185-198.
The deuterated prostaglandins may be administered in the same way and at the same dosage as the nor.-deuterated analogue~. An indicated daily dose for the uterotonic effect is from about 0.1 to about 20 mg, conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing from about 0.02 to about 10 mg of the compound or in sustained release form. If the prostaglandin is suitably basic a pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salt form may be used. If the prostaglandin is suitably acidic a pharmacologically acceptable cationic salt form may be u5ed. Such salt forms are readily made in conventional manner from the 10~503Z loo--~ 361 free form and exhibit the same order of activ,it~ as the free form. Accordingly the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a mono-deuterated 15-hydroxy group-containing prostaglandin, the deuterium atom being attached to the carbon atom in the 15 position, or a compound of formula I, in association with a pharma-ceutical carrier or diluent. Such compositions may be formulated in conventional manner so as to be, for example, a solution or tablet, A group of compounds of formulae I and V comprises those whexein C is Cl wherein Rl and R2 are independently hydrogen or methyl, or C2 wherein Z is O and R3 is p- or m-fluoro- or p- or m-chloro or m-trifluoromethyl.
